Nevertheless, sexual dysfunction often accompanies psychiatric disorder, intensely influencing compliance, quality of life and human relationships. Sexuality could be influenced either by a mental disorder itself, difficulties to get and maintain couple relationships or by the use of psychotropic treatments. Treatment-related adverse events are unfortunately under-recognized by clinicians, scarcely spontaneously communicated by patients, and rarely investigated in clinical trials. The most frequent psychotropic compounds that could deteriorate sexuality and quality of life include antidepressants, antipsychotics and mood regulators. There are important differences between them related to some variations in mechanisms of action including serotonin, dopamine and prolactin levels. Little is known about the relevance of sexuality and its dysfunctions in chronic and frequent mental and neurological disorders, such as psychosis, mood disorders, anxiety, phobias, eating disorders, alcohol or drug dependencies, epilepsy and childhood pathology. Poor sexual life, low satisfaction and more frequent risky sex behavior than in the general population are associated with severe mental diseases. There is a need for increasing research in this field, including epidemiological, psychological, neurophysiological, neuroanatomical and genetic variables related to sexual life to get a better understanding of the implicated mechanisms. To increase the sensibility of clinicians, the identification and management of sexual disturbances after the onset of any mental disorder should be highlighted. This would avoid unnecessary suffering and deterioration of quality of life.HumanitiesbicsscSocial interactionbicsscaddictionadverse effectsagomelatineantidepressantanxietyAsperger syndromeautismchild sexual abusechild sexual offendingcomorbiditiescompulsive sexual behaviorcybersexdelayed ejaculationdepot medroxyprogesterone acetatedepressiondesiredesvenlafaxinedopaminedopaminergic systemerectile dysfunctionerotic stimulus processingeye trackingfemale perpetratorfemale sexual dysfunctionfMRIgender stereotypeshealthyhidradenitis suppurativahormonal contraceptivehumanhypersexualityimmunohistochemical studyinternetintimate imageslibidolubricationmale ratsmedication adherencemental disordermental healthmethadonemother-child incestNeMUPnon-consensual image sharingnoradrenalineobjectificationobjectifying gazeonline pornographyopioid-related disordersorgasmparent-child communicationparoxetinepartner statuspatient satisfactionpedophiliapenile indurationpeyronie's diseasephenomenologypornographypost-traumatic stress disorderpredictorsprison inmatesprsexdq-salsex questionnairerape myth acceptanceresearchrisky sexual behaviorromantic lonelinessSCIDserotoninsex lifesextingsexual abstinencesexual addictionsexual communication anxietysexual compulsivitysexual desiresexual dysfunctionsexual excitationsexual inhibitionsexual intercoursesexual perfectionismsexual satisfactionsexualitysocial lonelinesssocial tabooswitching strategytransgendertreatmentvaginal ringveteransHumanitiesSocial interactionMontejo Angel Ledt1303467Montejo Angel LothBOOK9910557583603321Novel Research in Sexuality and Mental Health3027080UNINA
